c window construcvision ot an applr intent tiled by nie on May 25,

lt is the primary object oliI this invention nd easily applied means whereby tlie window traine may be securely locked and rioidly lined in its posi- "tioii in the building viating the possibility away i'roin the briclr thereby eliminating ing.

1t is also another object or" to provide improvedv means arranged beneatli tlie window traine lor between the outside stone sill wall, said means ob the traine pu lling wall by shrinkage and the necessity ot caulk the invention closing the joint and the brick wor-lr and eleve-.tino the sill so tiiat a further row ot bricks may be placed under the saine, thus Vtorining a. barrier preventing the seepage ot water raine.

11l/with the the invention consists iii dow construction and in inwardly under the window above and other objects in View,

the improved winthe torni and arrangement ot the several parts thereoi1 as will be hereinafter more lustrated in the accompanying and subsequently incorporated in tlie 'joined claims.

ln the drawings,

ttully described, il-

drawings,

sub-

wherein l have illus trated one simple and practical embodiment oit the invention, and in ence characters g designate which similar ret'ercorresponding parts throughout the several views,-

Figure 1 is an exterior elevation of a win dow contructioii embodying my present improveniente;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2--2 o Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a horizontal line of Fig. 1, and

Fig. l is similar secti section taken on the on, but illustrating a slightly inodiiied construction.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the

num-eral generally indicates the opposite bar.

6 the top hori sill with the usual sash weicht receiving` chainbers, the inner sidesI oit which are closed by the stiles 8 upon the upper end of which the usual cord pulleys (not shown) are mounted.

As shown in Fig. o'j the stiles 8 is provide 3 ot the drawings, each d with a vertically and the wood sill bar longitudinally extending ribs'9 on the face ot the Stiles 8 y at each side voit lthe parting strip 10. r

tension projecting inwardly trom the stile 8 and provided upon its inner `face with the vertically extending bearing bead 15. To

the inner member Ot each` side of the frame andv to the corresponding top member and to the sill bar 7, the bars 16 are secured by screws 17, each oit said'bars being provided On its inner edge with Va longitudinally extending bearing beadV 18.A

The saslies 19 are mounted in the trame between the members 14 and 16 and the parting strips 10 and have contacting sliding en* gagement with the convexsurt'aces ot the several ribs 9, 13, 1.) and 184.' Owing to the very limited area Ot'` `bearing contact ot' the sashes `upon these ribs, vtrictional resistance to the tree sliding movement of the saslies is reduced' to a minimum.

A horizontal shoe 20 preferably of wood is arranged between rvthe outside stone sill and has a tongue or rib 21' thereon interlocking' in a gr der side of the bar 7. Thus, the window traine is elevated sotliat an additional course of brick 23 inay be inserted between the building wall and the inner edge of the traine bar i', thereby providing a space be* tween said brick course and the shoe member 20 which, if desired,inay be filled with concrete as indicated at 211 and also providing an air space 25 beneath the inner sill 26.

The opposed :faces of the meeting rails of the sashes 19 are provided with interlocking tongues and grooves as shown at 27 so as to provide a substantially water tight connection between said rails when the saslies are closed. However, l also providethese taces 'i' ot the window traine v oove 22 provided in the un- 9l y Y, 17o rlhe Outer vertical member 14 of each side .5 Ot the trame is also provided with an eX- of the sash rails with longituilinally extending grooves Q8 which constituteair receiving pockets to evaporate moisture and keep the sash rails dry. However, any Water which may .dnd its Way into the groove in the rail of the upper sash will be drained ott by the outwardly and downwardly inclined grooves or channels 29 at the ends oit the groove Q8 and directed to the outer side of the sash.

In conjunction with the shoe member 20 and for the purpose of locking the window frame at the top and sides thereof to the Wall structure, I provide at the inner side of the `trame the bars 30 each having,` a longitudinally extendingT rib 3l locking in a groove 3l in the frame. The upper side of this bar opposed to the frame is cut away or recessed at 32 in opposed relation to the recess or channel 33 in the :tace ot the Window frame, said mating recesses receiving' the cement indicated at 34 whereby the bar 29 and the Window faune are united to the wall structure. It will be noted that the recess or channel 38 extends around the corner ot the brick Work or inasonrj Within which the Window frame is set soithat the cement will thus produce a very secure lock. By this means, the possibility `oi the Window traine pulling awayT from the wall at the. top thereof is obviated.

From the foregoing description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is believed that the construction and several novel features of my presentl iinproveinents Will be clearly understood. By the provision, of the spaced bearing ribs for the sliding sashes. limiting the area of contact, friction is reduced to a minimum, and in addition, air spaces are provided between said ribs which serve as collecting and drainage channels for moisture and also have a certain insulating effect. Also, it will be evident that'by `providing the interlocking shoe 2() beneath thewindow frame and the additional course of brick 23, shifting or displacement of the framedue to Warpage from the effects of the sun, will be prevented. Thus, I have produced a Window construction which is very substantial, comneeaaao paratively inexpensive and in which the sashes may be raised or lowered With a ruinimuin of ciiort While at the saine tiine preventing the inward seepage oil Water between the sashes and the lrarnc and also preventing a substantially air tight closure when the sashes are in closed position.

TWhile I have herein shown and described a simple and practical einlaalinient oi my invention, it will nevertheless bc understood that the several features herein disclosed are susceptible of more or lef-ts modiiication, and I therefore, reserve the privilege oi adopting` all such alternative constructions as may be :fairly incorporated within the spiri t and scope of the invention as claimed.

I claim:

l. In combination With a Wall structure having a Window traine receiving` recess, a Window traine positioned in said recel-:s and abutting against the shoulder oi the wall at the base ot' the recess, bars carried by said :traine at the opposite sides and the top thereoi fitting: Within the window opening' in the Wall at said shoulder, and a bindingr n'laterial interposed between the traine and said bars and the corner formed by the meeting ii'aces of said recess and the window opening,r to permanently lock the window traine against movement relative to the Wall structure.

2. In coinliination with a wall struct-ure having a Window frame receiving' recess, a Window traine positioned in said recess and abutting against a shoulder oiE the wall at the base of said recess, said Window trame beingl provided with channels ot angular torni at the corners oiE said shoulder. bars at the inner side ot the trame at the opposite sides and the top of the Window opening, said bars having channels mating with the channels in said Window traine, and said mating" channels adapted to receive a plastic material to permanently .lock the wiinlow frame against movement relative to the Wall structure.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed iny naine hereto.
